Schneider Electric SE

Schneider Electric provides a foundational set of ethical guidelines for policy engagement, but its disclosures lack detailed governance processes or oversight mechanisms specific to climate-related lobbying. The company's "Trust Charter" defines an "unequivocal position regarding impact on climate change and CO2 emissions" and sets out "clear dos and don'ts" for responsible lobbying, and it affirms that it will "conduct [its] engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." Training employees annually on the Charter and requiring confirmation underscores its commitment to embedding these principles. However, Schneider Electric does not disclose any procedures for reviewing or managing its lobbying alignment - such as periodic reviews, board approval of advocacy positions, or third-party audits - nor does it name an individual or formal body responsible for ensuring that both its direct and indirect lobbying activities remain consistent with its climate strategy. We found no evidence of active mechanisms to align its participation in trade or industry associations with its Paris-aligned policy framework.
